The two England internationals have both been linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge and with their contracts up in the summer they will be officially permitted to speak to other clubs in January.

According to reports, the left-back is a target of Paris Saint-Germain, as well as a number of other European clubs, while the midfielder's likely destination is supposedly LA Galaxy, where David Beckham recently ended a five-year spell.

However, the 52-year-old insisted that both players remain valuable squad members and under contract, but did not reveal whether the pair will be leaving at the end of the season.
